Debt to Income Ratio:

If you have ever heard someone talk about debt-to-income ratio, you might have wondered what it refers to. Debt-to-income ratio is the percentage of your income that goes towards paying debts. This is the number that most lenders will look at before approving you for a loan.

The first number in your debt-to-income ratio is usually the percentage of your income that you would put towards paying your housing expenses. This would include your mortgage and your homeowners insurance.

The second number in your debt-to-income ratio is usually the percentage of your income that you would put towards all of your debts. This includes housing, car payments, credit card debt, and other loans.

It is easier than you might think to improve your debt-to-income ratio. All you need to do is decrease your debt!
